If <b>bits</b> is less than zero, or too small to accommodate the requirements specified by the <b>top</b> and <b>bottom</b> parameters, an error is returned. The <b>top</b> parameters specifies requirements on the most significant bit of the generated number. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_ANY</b>, there is no constraint. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_ONE</b>, the top bit must be one. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_TWO</b>, the two most significant bits of the number will be set to 1, so that the product of two such random numbers will always have 2*<b>bits</b> length. If <b>bottom</b> is <b>BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ODD</b>, the number will be odd; if it is <b>BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ANY</b> it can be odd or even. If <b>bits</b> is 1 then <b>top</b> cannot also be <b>BN_RAND_TOP_TWO</b>.</p> <p>BN_rand_range() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number <b>rnd</b> in the range 0 <= <b>rnd</b> < <b>range</b>.</p> <p>BN_priv_rand() and BN_priv_rand_range() have the same semantics as BN_rand() and BN_rand_range() respectively. They are intended to be used for generating values that should remain private, and mirror the same difference between <a href="../man3/RAND_bytes.html">RAND_bytes(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/RAND_priv_bytes.html">RAND_priv_bytes(3)</a>.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>Always check the error return value of these functions and do not take randomness for granted: an error occurs if the CSPRNG has not been seeded with enough randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>The functions return 1 on success, 0 on error.
